How to prevent from getting the flu?!?


Im going on vacation on thursday, and my dad has had the flu since wednesday.... I'm not around him that much.... just at night for a few hours when i get home so its not like im around his constantly. How can I not get the flu!!!!!!!!!!!

The biggest thing you can do is to wash your hands... A LOT! Ask him to wash his hands frequently as well... and to cover his mouth with his arm (not his hand) when he coughs or sneezes. Try to avoid contaminated items such as his tissues. Use a disinfectant to clean things that he's used (like the phone) before using them. Other than that, drink plenty of water and stay healthy so that hopefully your immune system is primed and ready to fight.

Get the flu shot, and take some airborne.

Frequently wash your hands. Take a flu shot. Also, stay away from others who are ill.

To avoid getting the flu from an infected source, try the follow:
1- Try to keep away from him as far as possible.
2- Do not use his properties or any drinking utensils.
3- Have as much as hot drinks.
4- Avoid closed rooms where the source is inhabiting.
5- Have fresh ear as far as possible.
6- If vaccination is available get vaccinated.
